Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) is offering $1,000 grants to families considering Jewish overnight camp for next summer.  The grants are available to first-time campers who are looking to receive the educational and social benefits of Jewish overnight camp. Studies show that children who attend Jewish overnight camp have higher rates of in-marriage, synagogue affiliation and a stronger connection to Israel and Jewish life. Also, the children receive the benefits that all children receive from camp – building friendships, learning new skills and making memories.  Visitcjp.org/overnightcamp or call Ed Pletman at 617- 457-8548 for more information.
